MlHiHG OF COAL RESUMED
IN THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT.
Unanimous Endorsement of th Colum
bus Seal.
The convention ot the coal miner of the
Pittsburg district Friday Indorsed the action
of the national and district oflieera In accept.
Ing the 69-ccnt rate, and resumed work
Monday. The vote waa 89 to 81, but It was
made unanimous Immediately afterward.
The remarks ot the delegntes Indicated that
the disaffection over the terms of the settle
ment was becsin-e of misunderstandings con
cerning It. When the explanations were
given, the opposition to the officers melted,
and It was admitted openly that the settle
ment Is tietter than may be expected.
District Hccrctary W. II. Warner read the
circular sent to the miners of all parts ot the
country by the officials who signed the agree
ment. Charles Morgan moved that It be adopted
as read, and the officers Indorsed. This
brought out a discussion which continued all
afternoon. After several speeches In favor
of adopting thn circular, a delegate from
Madison demanded from some of the officers
an explanation us to why the men In that lo
cality hud lieeti leit nut of the settlement. No
terms were made for them aud othersoutslde
ot the thin vrln miners of tlie district, and if
they wern expected to go to work on Monday
they must know nt what terms, llev. Silas
Cole, of Flnleyvllle, vice president of the dls
trietwas called to the chair, and president
John A. Cairns took the Door to give tho ex
planation. II" sketched the work of the national and
district officers and orgnnir.ers.and concluded
by reading n letter from President John
Mcllrlde to the delegates. Thn letter state
that for the past thren weeks the men have
tieen kept lu line only by the sustense of the
convention held, and thi Incessant agitation
ot the organizers. It continues:
Our fund have been exhausted, and we
are hundreds of dollars In debt. There was
110 money to pay the expenses of the field
workers, and they have been ordered borne.
From all quartern came the cry for men or
money to keep the strike from breaking. We
could s-iid them neither, and the result was
easily for'told. With one more Issue the
"I'nited Mine Workers' Journal" will sus
pend publication until money come in. Your
